I got 10/10 yah! I have a question:Why do you blame Balaam for the Sins of the people when they profaned themselves with the Moabite women who invited them to the sacrifice for their god? The people had a reputation of doing egoistic things to suit themselves even though they witnessed all the miracles and heard Gods voice. I do not read anything in the chapter where Balaam told them to do that. According to the reading Balaam did not get any reward and did what the Lord told him to do. Am I missing something in this story that is not in the chapter?
